Why are our messages with friends constrained to generic green and blue chat bubbles? It’s time to add some color (and chaos) to your conversations with Sugar. On Sugar, chat outside the box by dropping text, images, GIFs, videos, and drawings anywhere on the unlimited canvas. Pick a text style as unique as your own voice (or keep it old school with a green or blue bubble). On Sugar, conversation is art.
